Poverty and natural disasters have left millions of people with only muddy creeks and stagnant ponds from which to drink. Each year, contaminants and waterborne illness are claiming the lives of millions, especially young children.

Water Serve tackles this crisis by distributing industry-leading water filters in India, Nepal and other countries (to international quality standard ISO 9001-2008), and then working one-on-one with community and church leaders to provide safe drinking water to those in need.

Purchase the ZOEN filter from Water Serve

Take the ZOEN water filter on your next vacation, mission trip or business trip to a developing country. Even leave them with the people there when you leave, and give the gift of safe water. If you traveling in a group, contact us for a bulk order.

“Zoe” in Greek means “life.” ZOEN, the adjective form of the word, appears in the best known verse in the Bible, John 3:16, where the last two words are “eternal life.”

Sanitation

THE TUBE TOILET will provide disaster and poverty-stricken communities with a practical solution for human waste disposal.

A single installation of this revolutionary composting septic system can safely contain waste from as many as 5 families for 10 years. Its patented design installs directly under the latrine floor, accomplishing the work of a standard USA septic system. And like our water filters, we’re sourcing the non-critical components in India and Nepal to support the local economies while keeping costs down.

800 children under 5 die every day from diarrhea due to lack of safe water, sanitation and basic hygiene.

Community Health

In poverty-stricken communities where formal jobs and education are scarce, micro entrepreneurs represent the majority of the small business sector.

Water Serve is working to create paths out of poverty for these would-be businessmen. One way we do that is by offering a high-capacity water purification system that entrepreneurs can use to build a business selling safe drinking water in their community, well below the going price of bottled water. Manufactured in India, our FILL STATION serves the dual purpose of providing a means for people to work their way out of poverty, while also making clean water available everywhere!
